The femoral triangle is located in the upper anterior thigh. It is bounded by the inguinal ligament superiorly, the sartorius muscle laterally, and the adductor longus muscle medially. The femoral artery, nerve, and vein pass through the triangle from lateral to medial, along with lymph nodes. The femoral triangle provides access for coronary and peripheral angioplasty through the femoral artery, and pressure can be applied here to stop bleeding in the leg.

Femoral triangle

2. It lies in upper part of anterior
aspect of thigh.
Boundries of triangle
-superiorly - inguinal ligament
-laterally - medial border of sartorius
-medially - lateral border of adductor longus
-floor – ilacus ,psoas major,pectinius,adductor
longus
-roof-skin,superficial facia,deep facia of thigh

4.  Femoral artery,nerve,vein (form lateral to medial)
, their branches and tributres
 Superficial and deep inguinal lymph node

7.  femoral triangle provides easy access to a major
artery, coronary angioplasty and peripheral
angioplasty is often performed by entering the
femoral artery at the femoral triangle.
 Heavy bleeding in the leg can be stopped by
applying pressure to points in the femoral
triangle.
 Another clinical significance of the femoral
triangle is that the femoral artery is positioned at
the midinguinal point (midpoint between the pubic
symphysis and the anterior superior iliac spine);
medial to it lies the femoral vein. Thus the femoral
vein, once located, allows for
femoral venipuncture.

8.  Femoral hernia occurs in this
triangle.
